Non-slip bath & shower coating in Fernieside, Edinburgh
Local non-slip bath coating for Fernieside: photo quotes, tidy work and a year’s guarantee.
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Worn-out textured areas
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
How we handle non-slip bath coating in Fernieside
It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. We regularly repair enamelled baths, acrylic baths and wet room floors (ask us), and common reasons people contact us are a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and safety for older or less mobile people.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What non-slip bath coating costs
We charge the same across the UK, including Fernieside. What changes the price is:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material
- Doing more than one item at once
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Details of any past repairs
To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
How the visit works
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- Next we mask off the area.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, normally overnight.
Getting ready for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Getting a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Fernieside
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Why repair rather than replace?
Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
